"...a kind of spiritual magic happens when multiple voices tumble over each other to narrate a shared reality."–Seattle Weekly
Irving’s Cider House Rules is truly a signature piece for Book-It; Part Two completes the epic story that closed the company’s 20th Anniversary Season. Leaving St. Cloud’s to experience the world beyond the orphanage and Dr. Larch, our Dickensian hero, Homer Wells, discovers that life’s joys and sorrows are neither black nor white, and the choices we make determine whether or not we become “the hero of our own lives.” The critically-lauded Part One is reprised in repertory, giving a second opportunity to see this mighty, two-part epic.
